  • A PhD can get a much higher paying (and likely less physically difficult) job than fast food.

    That maybe be true, but they may be trying a different career, or unable to find a job in their field because of oversaturation, or whatever other reason.

    The unspoken assumption when someone is “overqualified” is that they will take a better job if the opportunity presents itself.

    Isn’t that everybody though? If a cashier in fastfood got an opportunity to become a highly-paid streamer, they’d quit their fastfood job immediately too. But I do get your point: better credentials mean better job chances, mean greater likelihood of moving a job that’s paid better.

    Honestly, do people in the US actually know what the words liberals, conservatives, communists, marxists, fascists, etc. even mean? The words seem to just have taken on the urbandictionary meanings and serve as expletives more than anything else. Seemingly long lost are their use as per definition in Meriam Webster or Cambridge Dictionary.
